How To Motivate Yourself To Write

This was meant to provide motivation, but honestly, this is more of a list of ways to make sure you get it done, rather than make yourself “motivated”. Either way, this should benefit you somehow.

In the words of Chuck Wendig, “do not fucking multitask”. Carve out a specific time to write and use it to write. Don’t try to simultaneously write and tweet and check your email. Whether it be 15 minutes or 2 hours, write, and only write.

Take breaks occasionally. You can’t just sit there and fog up your creative lens. Go outside and go for a walk. Go to coffee with your friends for an hour. Do something to relax your brain for a while. It’s the same with studying. Don’t drive yourself up the wall because you feel you’re “on a roll”. Your ideas and plans will still be there when you get back. If you begin to get frustrated or your foot starts to fall asleep, take a break.

Use a rewards system. Say, for every 100 words, you get a piece of chocolate. After eating a regular sized Hershey’s bar, you’ve got 1200 words. Go you! (I personally fine this incredibly useful.)

Have people you trust hold you accountable. Have your best friend (or partner, if you’ve got one) check in when they know you should be writing to make sure you did.

Read books like a writer. Read a shitty book and pick it apart to find what you don’t like about it. Read a good book to find what you do like. Use these reflections and apply them to your own work. Nothing helps quite like learning from other people’s mistakes and success.

Don’t get stuck in the planning stages. You may get really excited while planning a story, that huge plot twist, a minor character’s backstory, etc, but keep in mind that at some point you’re going to have to sit down and hash it out. A lot of promising writers never get past the planning stages, so in the words of my very wise boyfriend: “Just write”.

Write in places that make your creative juices flow. Get cozy in bed with your laptop open to a word document, light a few candles, make some tea, get that incense going, and write. Music really helps to get in the mood as well, and if you would like to take a look at my writing playlist, here it is, free for public consumption.

Keep your mind open to new ideas and changes to your story. Your idea will develop and evolve over time, and the beauty of writing is that you can change anything you want and there are no consequences. If you decide to completely scrap a character, remove a subplot, add one in, or change the plot but keep the same characters, you’re totally free to do so. Nothing about writing is set in stone, so stay open minded to new concepts and changes and, most importantly, criticism. (I won’t elaborate on this because I might end up making a whole other post about this topic in the future.)

As always, this is just a compilation of the tips and tricks I’ve found the most useful in my own experience. They may not help, they may help a lot, it really could go either way or somewhere in between, but all the same, I hope this proves useful to you.

Being Daryl’s adopted daughter and Negan having a crush on you would include:

Requested

• Negan taking a liking to you the first time he sees you, only for him to see Daryl’s anger when he comes close to you  • Negan visiting Alexandria as often as he can, just to see you and to make sure that you’re fine • Negan mentioning every time he sees Daryl how hot you are and how much he’d love to screw your brains out while enjoying how much he can provoke him with that • And of course, Daryl not really being able to control himself hearing Negan talking like that about you and sometimes even getting a night in one of the cells for that

• Negan making sure that you have everything you need in Alexandria  • Negan trying to find out through Daryl what kind of things you like, so he can leave especially them in Alexandria or bring them as a gift for you while making sure that Daryl knows what happens when he lies to him   •  Negan telling his men that if anyone ever touches you or harms a hair on your head they’ll be bashed into pieces  • Negan flirting heavily with you, telling and trying to show you that he is the perfect match for you, not to mention his awesome qualities in bed • Him slowing actions against Daryl down as much as he can allow but making sure that Daryl knows that the only reason his ass isn’t beaten up is you •  Negan secretly fearing that you won’t forgive him doesn’t matter what he does, but suppressing the thought of it and instead, keep on fighting for you • Negan mostly avoiding to talk about Daryl with you • Negan searching for moments he can be alone with you to show you that he is not only the asshole you think he is, but also has a softer side he only shows you   • The thought of Negan and you together driving Daryl crazy, especially because he doesn’t know what Negan exactly does when he visits Alexandria • You trying to make deals with Negan to let Daryl come at least once in a while to Alexandria so you can see him and Negan having to ascertain that he has to make compromises if he doesn’t want you to turn your back on him •  Before letting Daryl go with him to Alexandria, Negan threatening him that if he tries to bad-mouth him in front of you, he doesn’t even want to know the punishment • As he then sees how happy you are while hugging Daryl when he’s back with him, Negan secretly wishing that you’re one day this happy to see him

• Daryl hoping that the thing Negan seems to have for you will stop after some time, only to realize that the complete opposite is happening and he can’t do anything against it •  Negan being happy every time he sees that you give him a positive reaction, doesn’t matter how small it is and loving when he can actually make you laugh • Negan mentioning that even though you’re not blood-related with Daryl, you also have this badass gene 

• Negan using the opportunities when Daryl is with him in Alexandria to make sure that Daryl sees that his little girl belongs to no one else but him now, doesn’t matter if it’s wrapping an arm around your waist and pulling you closer or flirting in an extra high volume with you to make sure Daryl hears it •  Daryl seeing the times he is in Alexandria how protective Negan is over you and even though he hates to see Negan coming closer and closer to you and would like to rip his head off, he would realize that the feelings Negan has for you keep you safe and that is his priority

Delicate Edges - Masterlist

summary: Your family’s beloved flower shop was not the only thing you inherited when your parents passed. Trapped under a mountain of debt to the Hydra club, you bear the cost of your father’s desperate bargain. It’s only in moments when the charming Bucky Barnes walks into your shop that you can forget the cruelty of the biker clubs of this town. But a war is brewing. The border is crumbling. You're trapped in the middle. And Bucky will stop at nothing to keep you safe. (Biker!AU) pairing: Bucky x reader series word count: ~70k series warnings: canon level violence, biker gangs, extortion, sexual harassment, smut (18+, will be marked by chapter with *), an exorbitant amount of fluff turns into a shitstorm of angst a/n: chapters will be added under the cut as I update! There is no tag list for my work, but you can follow @wkemeup-fics and turn on notifications to be alerted to new chapters. I will be posting on Sunday mornings EST

me: 

Hi friends! As an aspiring author, it’s extremely beneficial to me when I stumble upon writing masterposts. However, a lot of said masterposts are very limited, very vague in the sense that they don’t elaborate on the tips they give, or are directed towards a certain group of writers. I decided to make a guide/masterpost of resources and tips for all writers, whether you’re struggling to write an essay for class or want to get started on the first few chapters of your novel. I also added some handwriting tips, because it’s always nice writing when you actually like your handwriting! I hope you all enjoy, and hopefully I helped! (If there are any issues with links or tags, please let me know!)
